Abstract: The invention discloses a detachable and easily cleanable meat tenderizer, which includes a housing, a blade holder, a blade and a baffle plate. The blade is mounted in the blade holder. The housing is internally provided with a chamber that is sized to fit the blade holder, and the chamber is internally provided with a pushing-type locking device. The pushing-type locking device includes a pushing block and a sliding groove fixedly connected on an inner wall of the chamber for pushing the pushing block to slide. The blade holder is provided with a fixing groove that is sized to fit the pushing block. The housing is connected to the blade holder when the pushing block is pushed into the fixing groove, and the housing is disengaged from the blade holder when the pushing block is pushed away from the fixing groove.

Abstract: A multi-function meat tenderizing mallet includes a head including a faceplate having a face surface elastically supported by at least one spring, movably mounted on at least one bolt; a shaft attached to the head; and a top plate positioned opposite the faceplate and attached to the shaft via mounting bolts. The faceplate is movably mounted in relation to a set of chopping blades attached to one another by means of at least one mounting bolt. In a rest position the edges of said chopping blades are retracted in the slots of the faceplate.

Abstract: A double function, hand operated meat tenderizer includes a handle with a blade segment clamped inside said handle; a generally flat plate attached to said handle by at least one slidably moving cylinder attached to a compressed spring, comprising at least one seat including a releasably attached spigot of the cylinder, wherein an end face of said plate is provided with a plurality of projections and flow-through slots aligned in evenly spaced relation, parallel to the spring axis, and wherein in a position of rest, ends of said blades are retracted in said flow-through slots.

Abstract: A meat tenderizer with disposable face plates requires that a fresh face plate be chosen for each use to prevent cross contamination from one use of the tenderizer to the next. The table or tables of the tenderizer head are flat and accept the face plates which may have a flat tenderizing surface or any of several textured tenderizing surfaces. The face plates are intended for a single use. Once used a face plate is discarded. The user selects the appropriate face plate for the task at hand, attaches it to the tenderizer and removes and discards it after use. Since a clean unused face plate is selected for each use, the tenderizer does not have to be washed between uses thereby saving time for the chef and providing a sanitary tenderizing surface for contact with the meat.

Abstract: A hand-held food processor having a weighted cylindrical universal handle with a circular triangle shaped base which can accommodate various detachable optional base pieces. The base pieces contemplated include a piercing tenderizer assembly, a coarse plate, as well as a smooth plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for pounding a food item, the apparatus comprising: a bottom portion having four sides and a raised lip along three of the four sides; a top portion having four sides; an accordion hinge in communication with one of the four sides of the bottom portion and one of the four sides of the top portion, wherein the accordion hinge hingedly attaches the bottom portion to the top portion to provide an adjustable thickness between the top portion and the bottom portion.

Abstract: A cartridge for a hand operated food processor including a blade holder holding at least one blade. A quick release lock is provided for retaining the cartridge in a casing. The cartridge preferably includes at least one series of aligned blades held by the blade holder utilizable for piercing and cutting food. The invention further includes a food processor having a housing including the above cartridge and a casing holding the cartridge. The invention also includes a food processor having a housing that has at least one blade and preferably at least one longitudinal series of blades for piercing and cutting food where each of the blades has side surface portions and a cutting tip edge portion. A base is provided with openings through which the blades can pass to pierce and cut food. The base includes a fixed base portion and a removable base portion.

Abstract: A condiment dispenser that has a handle of sufficient length to reduce the forces necessary to dispense condiments and/or make the dispenser safe to use over a backyard barbecue grill. In one version, one end of the handle has an attached cylinder having grooves or slots and two or more condiment containers have protrusions that engage the slots so that the containers may be mounted and de-mounted as in a bayonet coupling. Opposite the protrusion end, the containers have lids and rotatable tops, each having a hole or holes that allow regulation of the flow of condiments out of the containers. Another version uses a unitary lid and top having multiple protrusions and at least one hole, so that when secured to the handle, tenderizing and marinading can be undertaken at the same time. Other versions relate to various ways of securing the condiment containers to the handle.

Abstract: An apparatus for transporting seasoning within a food product and particularly within a meat, fish or poultry product is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a handle, a head and a plurality of prongs. Seasoning adheres to the prongs and is transported inside of the food product when the prongs are inserted into the food. In a second embodiment of the apparatus, the prongs are tiered to increase the adhesion of the seasoning to the prongs and thereby transport additional quantities of seasoning into the interior of the food product.

Abstract: A meat tenderizing mallet for use in association with meat and meat tenderizer fluid, the apparatus comprises a handle formed in an cylindrical configuration with an inboard end including screw threads; a mallet head having an open top, an open bottom and a bore formed therein, the bore adapted to be coupled to the inboard end of the handle, a lid being coupled to the open top of the mallet head; and a base plate having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface having a plurality of generally pyramidal shaped protrusions, each protrusion including an aperture positioned therethrough, the inner surface of the base plate being coupled to the open bottom of the container, in an operative orientation a user filling the container with tenderizing fluid and striking the meat, this action causing injection of tenderizing fluid into the meat thereby facilitating meat tenderizing.
